Have it your way
What about the roofing material? Do you prefer metal to minimize maintenance, or wood shingles for the aesthetic appeal? How do you want your walls finished? If ease of maintenance is top of your list, a smooth pigmented render will cut out the need for repainting the outside walls every three years. There again, stone or brick can reduce maintenance while adding character to the dwelling. UPVC, fiberglass, aluminium or timber doors and windows can dramatically affect the overall appearance of a dwelling, and while you look to further reduce maintenance, you can increase individuality. Affordable housing is affordable, but it doesn’t have to look affordable, it can look as good, if not better than many traditional dwellings. The Materials Shopping List provides a complete list of every part necessary to complete your home and localize the home to your individual tastes and your environment. On the next page you will see the “Sorin” skeleton and 31 suggested exterior themes to accompany it. That’s why we say, “Have it your way,” and adapt your home to your environment and taste.
